Kellan and Ashley Heart Their Fans—and Each Other?

New Moon cuties work the press even better than Robsten, who knew?

Two of our New Moon faves are Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene. Lutz, because he's rugged-sexy (more Team Awful's type, sorry Ash) and Greene 'cause she's always such a sweetheart.

With all of the Robsten lovey-dovey stuff, these two babes can get overlooked...which is probably just how they like it.

Seems close friends K & A have just the right amount of fame: They are recognized and can have fun with it, but don't have to stay locked in their hotel rooms.

Let's not forget about Kellan and Ash in our ridiculous New Moon coverage.

Here's what the pair had to say about their star power and inherited fan base, and their witty banter made wonder if there's more there than just being costars?

Where do you think the public and fans' right to know about your private life starts and stops? It's just a really blurry line nowadays.

Ashley: "I mean, it's a fine line definitely. I think it's hard because the reason that we are here is because of our fans, and they want to know everything about us because they adore us and they support us. And so you do want to give them a little, but there is, you know, a certain point to where it's not normal for everyone to know everything about you. I mean, not all of my friends know every single thing about me! Then on the flip side, you never, ever know what someone's going to write about you. Like maybe an interviewer likes you and maybe they don't, and so that's where it becomes kind of tough because you do want to be open and honest, but then you still have to protect yourself."

Kellan: "I think it's great to adopt a pet—a dog that bites. I mean, that's where the paparazzi will stop. She [pointing at Ashley] has a lovely dog Marlow, which is kind of small but hurts. My dog, Kola, does not like anyone that she's not friendly with."

Ashley: "Kola's mean."

Kellen: "Yeah, so the paparazzi stops at my front gate! And it's usually kind of crazy to have paparazzi step outside your house—it's a double-edged sword. I mean, we're blessed to be actors and have such a loving fan base. And the fans are always so great, and they're giving us presents, which is so crazy, 'cause we're allowed to work because of them. And the time they put into making dolls or buying gummi bears or anything like that, it's very humbling. So it's really nice to just have everyone who is respectful just understand that it's a job at the end of the day. We aren't really these characters in life. And just thank them for everything."

First off, we love when celebs are grateful for what they've got. Refreshing, no? And second, aren't these two just adorable? But for any Twi-fans getting your hopes up these two are not taking a play from the Robsten book, we hate to burst your bubble.

Ashley and Kellan are strictly friends. Not even friends with benefits, we hear from insiders (but then again who really knows). Too bad! We would love these two together. Hey, isn't that how fab romances start, though, by being friends first? It worked for Rob and Kristen, after all. Or scratch that, Robsten might've just gotten down to business from the get-go.
